Roma has won two consecutive matches, which has helped them remain competitive in the top-four race in Serie A and advance in the Europa League. They are now focused on defeating Atalanta BC on Tuesday (IST) to distance themselves from one of their close competitors.
The teams will meet at the Gewiss Stadium, with a seven-point gap between them following Atalanta’s draw with Fiorentina in the previous week. Meanwhile, the visitors will be encouraged by a remarkable victory in the middle of the week.

Atalanta possible starting lineup:
Under the guidance of Jose Mourinho, AS Roma has made significant strides this season and is determined to demonstrate their abilities in this match. Paulo Dybala has been in excellent form in recent weeks and will be eager to make an impact.
Atalanta has experienced difficulties over the past month and requires a boost to their confidence. AS Roma is currently the stronger team and is expected to emerge victorious in this fixture.
In 2023, Roma has achieved a remarkable feat of securing nine wins without conceding a goal. This accomplishment has only been matched by their city rivals Lazio and the likely champions, Napoli. It is clear that Mourinho’s team is proficient in delivering results.
